Unfortunately there were some moments that Boston Bruins fans wish had never happened or were handled differently.

With a high level of excitement for the team's honorary White House visit in January, no one expected anything or anyone could spoil an opportunity of a lifetime.

What was suppose to be a day of recognition for the team's accomplishment of winning the Stanley Cup championship, quickly turned into one of the most controversial stories of the year. It was even mentioned on the World News.

And it all started with some simple tweet from a Bruins beat writer.

"I don't see Tim Thomas."

2. Tim Thomas a no-show at White White

Was it a simple mistake? Unfortunately it wasn't and Twitter blew up within minutes as to why the Conn Smythe and Vezina Trophy winner wasn't present with his teammates.

It would take a while for everything to die down, but it never fully got there. Throughout the rest of the season, questions would randomly pop up and Thomas threatened to end the interview session.

His most famous media walk-out was when a report brought up the subject again just before the Bruins playoff series with the Washington Capitals. Thomas excused himself as he made his way past a swarm of reporters and exited the locker room.

Some may claim since the White House snub that the relationship between Tim Thomas and Bruins management spiraled downhill and it's unfortunate that it may be over.
